This Modern Age (1931)

豆知識

This Modern Age is a 1931 American pre-Code Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer feature film directed by Nick Grinde and starring Joan Crawford, Neil Hamilton, Pauline Frederick and Albert Conti.

Production

The film was based upon the story Girls Together by Mildred Cram, and follows the story of a socialite girl deciding between the social sins of her mother and a comfortable life in the arms of a rich suitor.

This Modern Age is notable for Crawford playing a blonde. According to a biography, she "wore her hair that color because the actress who was originally to play the part of the mother, Marjorie Rambeau, was a blonde. When Rambeau became ill, the part was recast with a brunette actress, Pauline Frederick, whom Joan greatly admired. Joan's scenes had already been shot, and the difference in hair color was not reason enough to reshoot them.
